We’ll kick off with a return visit from Dr. Micah Sadigh, who did a popular presentation for us in the fall on the topic of “Sleep.” For this program he will focus on “Dreams.”
Twenty-seven artists and collaborators present an exhibit which looks at plastics in our lives and environment. A variety of media will showcase in all four gallery spaces at Nurture Nature Center including an installation about the Delaware River created through a partnership with artist Kate Dodd.
Dave Fry will share the stage with Rick Weaver and Tom Druckenmiller to chat about our dual lives as folk radio programmers as well as professional folk performers, how those vocations intersect and inform each other. Dave has been doing radio since the early 70's at WSAN, WMUH, WDIY and recently on Folk Music Notebook. Tom holds down the Sing Out! Radio podcast for many years as well as Folk Sunday and In The Tradition on WDIY and Rick can be heard weekly on WDIY's Celtic Faire. All three are noted musicians as well. Audience conversation is encouraged.

The 2006 Tony nominated Best Musical The Drowsy Chaperone is an “exquisitely honed hymn to the forgotten musicals of yesteryear” ( Variety ). The show opens with a morose theatre lover who cheers himself up by playing for the audience a record of his favorite musical, a fictional 1928 show. As the record plays, the stage is transformed into an impressive Broadway set, and a parody of a 1920s musical comedy is performed. The theatre lover, invisible to the musical actors, comments on the story, the acting, and the music during the show. Filled with rollicking dance numbers and exuberant songs, The Drowsy Chaperone will delight audiences with its love of musicals from the past.
Recommended for ages 13+
